I have been working and riding Yorkshire Dales area for 30 years, and I can say that the most complaints come from Townies , {Outsiders that have moved into the NP.} they even complain about Farmers getting Muck on the roads and Cows making a Noise...the Locals tell them ...If You Dont Like it F--k Off Back to the Town you came from.
I say...Live and Let live... when Leigh and I go walking, were smart enough to walk on FOOTPATHS there easy to find as they are over 140.000 miles of them , and we never have to come in contact with 4x4 or motorcycles.
When I go trail riding I only ride on Legal Trails.. {nick name Green Lanes }... so why is it that a walker thinks he or she as the right to stand in front of us to block our way ? If you try to do that on your High street. I should think that the police would take you away .

Ok, in all seriousness, there is room for everyone. But more consideration is needed. Yes, they are byways and highways. But it does churn up the surface and make a mess.
Being on a FP does not guarantee not meeting powered vehicles. Nor does it mean you will not come across the result of them.
The "townies" are the ones who got the access opened, by "walking" onto the land.
I agree, walkers should not stand in front of vehicles, but vehicles should also give as wide a berth as possible.
I don't doubt that there are a lot of responsible riders here, and the NP are doing a good job to sort things out.
But when the green lanes get as cut up as they do, it becomes an issue.
